UVa FACULTY BROWN BAG LUNCH
WHO: Madelyn Wessel, J.D., Special Advisor to the University Librarian and Liaison to the General Counsel, University of Virginia
WHAT: UVa Faculty Brown bag lunch and discussion for focusing on intellectual property, copyright, and patent issues. Cookies and drinks will be provided.
WHEN: Tuesday, March 20, Noon
WHERE: Scholars' Lab Classroom in Alderman Library. Alderman Library is building #1 on this map.
The Scholars' Lab is located on the 4th floor (West wing) of Alderman Library.
WHY: Faculty have questions about copyright, intellectual property, and patents that affect your research projects, publishing endeavors, and potential income opportunities. These questions play out in the print and the online world. Recently, a UVa faculty member wondered if he could contract with a publisher for the print rights to his book, and keep the digital rights. Another faculty member wanted to know about online teaching and who owns the intellectual property involved in creating that course. Then there is the question of who owns the intellectual rights to student work. These and other topics of interest are certain to be on the lunch menu at this brown bag session. So please come, enjoy the conversations, and seek answers to your most perplexing copyright, IP, and patent questions.

BROWN BAG LUNCH FOR UVa STUDENTS
WHO: Madelyn Wessel, J.D., Special Advisor to the University Librarian and Liaison to the General Counsel, University of Virginia.
WHAT: A brown bag lunch, presentation, and Q&A for students focusing on your rights as authors with regard to intellectual property, copyright, and patent issues.

WHEN: Tuesday, April 2nd, Noon
WHERE: Scholars' Lab Classroom in Alderman Library. Alderman Library is building #1 on this map.
The Scholars' Lab is located on the 4th floor (West wing) of Alderman Library.
WHY: Faculty aren't the only ones to have questions about copyright, intellectual property, and patents that affect their research projects, publishing endeavors, and potential income opportunities. These questions play out in the print and the online world for graduate students as well. Recently, a UVa grad student wondered if she could provide Open Access to her dissertation and how that would affect her copyrights with regard to her dissertation. A TA wanted to know about online teaching and who owns the intellectual property involved in creating an online course. Then there is the question of who owns the intellectual rights to student work. These and other topics of interest are certain to be on the lunch menu at this brown bag session. So please come, enjoy the conversations, and seek answers to your most perplexing copyright, IP, and patent questions.

  NCES UPDATES WEBSITE
New state-level data on topics such as teacher evaluations, college-and career-readiness assessments, school sanctions, and exit exams are now available on the State Education Reforms website. The State Education Reforms website, which draws primarily on data collected by organizations other than NCES, compiles and disseminates data on state-level education reform efforts in five areas:

(1) Accountability
(2) Assessment and standards
(3) Staff qualifications and development
(4) State support for school choice and other options
(5) Student readiness and progress through school

The library has a contract with the APA (American Psychological Association) for the PsycBooks database.Each month new full text ebooks are added. Some are new publications and others are classics from the past.

This short video details the painstaking process of preserving the 200-year-old Thomas Jefferson Bible. Smithsonian Museum staff analyzed it for over 3,200 hours. It has 12 types of paper, 4 manuscript inks, 6 printing inks, 2 types of adhesives, 1,010 clipping glued into the book, and !

  PEER-REVIEW STATUS
The ERIC team is pleased to announce that they are adding the peer-reviewed status to records indexed in ERIC from 1966-2003 to bring the older issues in line with currently indexed records. The peer-review information gathered from various sources is being updated in the digital library on a journal by journal basis. Enhanced records have already begun to appear on the ERIC Web site. Vendors, like EBSCO, will receive the changes on a monthly basis. The update is scheduled to be completed in this calendar year.

 A LIFE OF DEDICATION
Robert Covert, an associate professor in the University of Virginia’s Curry School of Education, is the 2012 recipient of the John T. Casteen III Diversity Equity Inclusion Leadership Award. The award will be presented March 16 at a private luncheon.

Administered by U.Va.‘s Office for Diversity and Equity, the award was established in honor of Casteen, the former president who was its inaugural recipient in 2010. It recognizes a student, faculty or staff member who has demonstrated a deep commitment to diversity in the U.Va. Community.

For more than 20 years, Covert has taught what has become his signature class, Multicultural Education. It is designed “to prepare students to engage in critical discourse and reflection needed to develop cultural competence in an increasingly diverse educational milieu,” wrote Stanley C. Trent, associate professor in the Curry School.

This year and last year, the breakout sessions for the Multicultural classes with 426 students were held in the Curry Library Innovation Commons (CLIC). It was a great venue for the sessions and we hope more faculty will consider using the CLIC for group work.

The Library is pleased to announce that maps of some Library stacks are now available in VIRGO. Simply search for a book and click on the link, "View Locations and Availability"—if the item is available, a map icons will appear that links to a map showing the floor on which the book is held.

For example:
Classroom assessment scoring system (CLASS) manual, pre-K by Robert C. Pianta has a call number that starts out with LB ( LB 1140.23 .P53 2008), The map shows that call numbers for books in Alderman Library that begin with L- LJ are located on the 2nd floor, mezzanine level in the New Stacks.

This feature is currently available for the Alderman and Law Library stacks. Staff are working to refine this feature and extend it to all Library stacks.
